A chimney sweep will certainly do a thorough chimney cleaning to get rid of any kind of deposits, soot, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys create injuries and also fires every year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney examined and also swept each year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will execute a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually ineffective and also are not suggested. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning service technician will shield the inside of your residence by spreading tarps over the area, flooring, and also hearth. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheeting, placing an commercial vacuum hose into the fireplace, and will after that tape and also seal off the fire place. They'll attach extension hoses and run them to the industrial vacuum with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dust later on.
Next, they will clean the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Normally they will start at the top of the chimney and work downward, meticulously cleaning all the surface areas. Your chimney sweep will clean the flue, the damper, the smoke chamber, the smoke shelf, and the firebox.
They will after that peel back a small portion of the plastic sheeting and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The vinyl sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery accumulation which at first can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it ends up being tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, in some cases needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and even more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke becomes really hot. Hard creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. As soon as the build up of creosote is really hefty, it restricts the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is unsafe in a number of various ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it puts your house in danger of fires.
Creosote build up triggers diminished air flow and this can permit carbon monoxide gas to build up inside your residence while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It can trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer triggering).
The most unsafe aspect of creosote is that it is incredibly combustible. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to endure a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can swiftly surpass this degree.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best and most reliable means to eliminate creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and your house. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at least once a year in order to protect against fires and harmful build up.
How frequently a chimney needs to be cleaned depends of exactly how frequently you use it and what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fire places need to be checked every year. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, fractures and various other problems can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to get into the residence.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned once a year to prevent residue from accumulating.
Due to the fact that wood burning fireplaces and stoves create more soot and creosote, they need to be swept more frequently. A good guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
